<para>
Stenciling,
like depth-buffering,
enables and disables drawing on a per-pixel basis.
You draw into the stencil planes using GL drawing primitives,
then render geometry and images,
using the stencil planes to mask out portions of the screen.
Stenciling is typically used in multipass rendering algorithms
to achieve special effects,
such as decals,
outlining,
and constructive solid geometry rendering.
</para>
<para>
The stencil test conditionally eliminates a pixel based on the outcome
of a comparison between the value in the stencil buffer and a
reference value. To enable and disable the test, call <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glEnable</refentrytitle></citerefentry>
and <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDisable</refentrytitle></citerefentry> with argument
<constant>GL_STENCIL_TEST</constant>; to control it, call
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glStencilFunc</refentrytitle></citerefentry> or
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glStencilFuncSeparate</refentrytitle></citerefentry>.
</para>
<para>
There can be two separate sets of <parameter>sfail</parameter>, <parameter>dpfail</parameter>, and
<parameter>dppass</parameter> parameters; one affects back-facing polygons, and the other
affects front-facing polygons as well as other non-polygon primitives.
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glStencilOp</refentrytitle></citerefentry> sets both front
and back stencil state to the same values, as if
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glStencilOpSeparate</refentrytitle></citerefentry> were called
with <parameter>face</parameter> set to <constant>GL_FRONT_AND_BACK</constant>.
</para>
<para>
<function>glStencilOpSeparate</function> takes three arguments that indicate what happens
to the stored stencil value while stenciling is enabled.
If the stencil test fails,
no change is made to the pixel's color or depth buffers,
and <parameter>sfail</parameter> specifies what happens to the stencil buffer contents.
The following eight actions are possible.

Stencil buffer values are treated as unsigned integers.
When incremented and decremented,
values are clamped to 0 and

</para>
<para>
The other two arguments to <function>glStencilOpSeparate</function> specify stencil buffer actions
that depend on whether subsequent depth buffer tests succeed (<parameter>dppass</parameter>)
or fail (<parameter>dpfail</parameter>) (see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDepthFunc</refentrytitle></citerefentry>).
The actions are specified using the same eight symbolic constants as <parameter>sfail</parameter>.
Note that <parameter>dpfail</parameter> is ignored when there is no depth buffer,
or when the depth buffer is not enabled.
In these cases, <parameter>sfail</parameter> and <parameter>dppass</parameter> specify stencil action when the
stencil test fails and passes,
respectively.

<para>
Initially the stencil test is disabled.
If there is no stencil buffer,
no stencil modification can occur
and it is as if the stencil test always passes.
